A warm weekend

Clouds were in abundance overnight and have kept temperatures in the mid to upper 60s early this morning. Patchy fog will be a possibility just before sunrise across our inland communities, where temperatures have cooled just a bit.

A mix of sun and clouds will remain in the forecast for your Friday with mainly dry conditions. Temperatures will also hover in the lower half of the 80s with a breezy easterly flow off the Atlantic.

For the weekend, not much change is expected in the overall weather pattern. We'll stay with a mix of sun and clouds and highs in the low to mid 80s.

Moisture will continue to gather in the Gulf of Mexico ahead of our next storm system, which will bring in cloudier weather and a chance for showers by the start of the work week.

Now that we're getting into the second half of August, it's the the time of year when we really start to monitor the far eastern Atlantic for budding tropical waves that could potentially develop into tropical storms or hurricanes.
